Lyrics

I remember the sound of your voice
But none of what you said
I remember the burning in my body
And the buzzing in my head
And I do remember your voice
Smoothing over my only choice
Oh, brave new world
That has such people in it
Oh, brave new world
That has such people in it

I can see the look on your face now
Yes I can
Bright light dancing all along your eyes
And you covering your mouth up with your hand
Your bracelets jangled against your arm
No harm intended, no harm
Oh, brave new world
That has such people in it
Oh, brave new world
Brave
